A Birthday Bouquet for You, Julia

Julia Child writing about 1949:
“On August 15, I turned thirty-seven years old. Paul bought me the Larousse Gastronomique, a wonder-book of 1,087 pages of sheer cookery and foodery…By now I knew French food was “it” for me. I couldn’t get over how absolutely delicious it was.”

I didn’t know that today was Julia Child’s birthday!Though certainly there were many grand celebrations for her on that day. I have a sweet little note she wrote me in response to a dinner party invitation sketch I sent her, done for the James Beard House I think…Lovely quote.
